Takes photos before you disassemble. Get some brake cleaner and degrease the adjusters, then regrease the sliders. Try and remember how far the adjuster screw is wound in to prevent the need to spend ages fiddling with the adjusters.

Put a dab of copper ease on the back plate where the shoes make contact to prevent sticking.

Finally, be prepared to swear and have no skin left on your hands when putting it all back together :woohoo:

Sounds like the adjuster is the wrong way around?

The fork at the end of the adjuster has different lengths on each side of the fork and you have to get it the right way around
